Mini map mod idea?
#1

The mini map in-game bugs me because you have to zoom all the way out / in before you can zoom in / out again.

So to fix this make mouse button 1 zoom in, mouse button 2 zoom out & mouse button 3 drag / move map.

Good idea, bad idea & who doesn't know what I'm taking about lol Smile

Yes I posted this also previously. One of the most fustrating annoyances in IL-2 for someone who has voice and comms turned off and need to know were to go.

This mod desperatly needed.

So basically what you are talking about is breaking up the map zoom commands. Good idea.

dear Santa , i would like to have ......

Christ, it never ends :wink:


With all those wip projects going on like Lanc , Black widow .... you really want from AAA team to waste their time so you'd have mouse scroll map zoom ? If it was simple mod someone would come out with it by now .... you really aren't the first with that idea :wink:

Nope, I'de be glad to donate to AAA on behalf of the modder or both. Who knows; it may not be impossible but let the one who absolutely knows if its possible make that decision.

A lot of servers dont allow min-maps and chances are this will be a strictly single player mod thus why it has not been done.

Maybe a compromose were we can assign values then the a zoom level of something of that sort.

We need something were we can an overall view of the waypoints for navigation and then back to full zoom instantly without having to cycle all the way thru the zoom levels.

as all new modded features are madden by reverse engineering, even Fireball ( and trust me here, he knows his stuff) can't make that decision without trying several approaches , and that takes time . So its not just taking a look and making a decision ....


"we need quick zoom" is not an argument ... i would rather have Lanc madden sooner than having quick Zoom just because i don't like to click few times more . .... but that's just me

it's all matter of priorities ....

Well money talks and BS walks. Thus the offer to someone and AAA to see if its feasible. If we get enough pledges, it could be well worth someones time. You don't get payouts without some sort of risk in this world.

My pledge

$5 to AAA and the modder. One half price of the game. I mean if its possible.

Yep, we all have our own priorities and some of us would love a minimap mod and some don't and I respect that.

LMAO.... Hmmm... are you guys getting *Olegitis? :lol:









*Olegitis: A condition caused by a virus known as gimmegimmegimmecanwehave that originated in 2001 after a Russian flight sim developer named Oleg Maddox whom the condition is named after, unknowingly released the virus in his flight sim while attempting to provide unprecedented developer support to his rabid, almost fanatical flight sim customer base. The virus spread like wildfire among the 1C Maddox community immediately once exposed to IL2, devastating it's ranks. Around 2007 some unauthorized but brilliant flight simmers managed to crack parts of the genetic sequence of Oleg Maddox's IL2 flight sim allowing it to be openly modified. Unknowingly they also modified the gimmegimmegimmecanwehave virus as well and again the virus was released inadvertently on the public, this time in it's genetically altered far more virulent form in the mofdifications to the original flight sim that is just now beginnig to devastate the IL2 mod community as well. The condition effects flight sim users, developers and modders alike, however it's symptoms are manifested differently in each group.

Flight sum user symptoms: Very straight forward.. after exposure to the virus from an infected flight sim (In all bit .000265% of cases a 1C Maddox product) the users begin to experience thoughts that manifest themselves in terms of repeaated and very intense and persistent cries of "Gimmegimmegimmecanwehave... " leveled at game developers. These cries often seem totally logical to the users, however to the developers often it seems an almost impossible task because of their work load.

For developers and now modders the symptoms are almost identical.

Developer/modder symptoms: Also be advised that the original developers of the IL2 series are far beyond the earlier stages iof the condition. They are nowe in the "I wont say shite till I have something relatively substantial for these yahoos.." stage of the condition. Thye modders still have a ways to go before they reach that6 stage.. the modders are still in the "WTF man I am doing the best I can, get in line" stage.

In all stages from the developer/modder standpoint the condition manifests itself with slightly more detachment as the users, the real sufferers in this condition , make more and more intense and fervent demands. AT some point, the modders reach an epiphanous moment where they say.. "D@mn.. no wonder Oleg stopped coming around.. he was too busy doing this stuff... " as they hunch over their desks and continue making the mods to satisfy the insatiable demands that the virus brings forth from the users.

all modders here are working for free m8 .... just pure enthusiasm

do not think for a minute that any of donations have anything to do with AAA team priority decisions !

IMHO, it is rather offensive even suggesting such a thing

please, do not take this any further

.... @Bearcat :


please not Oleg comparison again !


all of AAA guys are working for free here .... no commercial interest what so ever .... while Olegs only interest is making money ( and he has every right for it) .

Don't you think that is time to stop seeing Oleg as some romantic character who made IL2 from pure love and enthusiasm for ww2 era aircraft's ....maybe that was the case at the beginning but now it's just business, nothing else .
